WHAT'S HOT

What's Hot in
Countertops
from KBIS 2020

1. The 2020 Living Impressions Collection by the FORMICA CORP.
includes hand-painted marbles and watercolor looks inspired by
extensive home and design research. The launch includes one new
laminate pattern, Black Bardiglio (shown here).
2. GEOLUXE's Calacatta GLuxe is defined by free-flowing gray veins
set against a pure white backdrop, and it is unaffected by heat and
UV rays. The company's patented Geomimicry-forming technology
achieves a true through-body pattern with veins that run both across
and from top to bottom of each slab.
3. NEOLITH's Calacatta Luxe is a new surface that incorporates
elements of Calacatta Crema and Calacatta Oro stones. It combines
striations of dark grays, inky blues, tobacco browns and subtle
golds against a bright white background. While capturing the look of
Italian marble, the surface also has ultra-hygienic qualities.
4. MATERIA, an ABK Group brand, is dedicated to the production of
large-format porcelain slabs for kitchen and bath applications. The
surface comes in three thicknesses: 6 mm, 12 mm and 20 mm and
is resistant to scratching, staining, mold, extreme heat and harsh
chemical cleaners. It also offers a wide range of material effects,
including marble, wood, stone and contemporary, plus three finish
options: soft, natural and lux (shown).
5. Infinity marble-effect slabs are produced using a new process
developed by GRUPPO CONCORDE: NaturaVein Tech. This
technology uses a controlled sedimentation process to randomly
deposit colored raw materials throughout the tile, thus replicating the
natural veins of marble. Slabs produced using this tech are full-body
porcelain, so the pattern is consistent throughout the full thickness.
6. ANTOLINI's Magma Black is characterized by its black background
with touches of yellow highlights. Onyx tones and golden beams
simulate astral matter for a modern look, while the obsidian shades
included in the product balance one another out.
7. An offshoot of the Emilgroup brand, LEVEL produces large-format
porcelain slabs measuring 63 by 126 inches in 6.5 mm thickness and
64 by 128 inches in 12 mm. Three new effects - slate gray, slate black
and corten (shown here) - evoke stone and metal on a massive scale.
Level slabs are ideal for kitchen countertops - they are resistant to high
temperatures, harsh chemicals, staining and scratching.
8. Clovelly from CAMBRIA has a creamy background with copper and
brown curving veins along with white, lightning-like veins. The design
is available in Cambria matte and high-gloss finishes, along with 19
different edge profile treatments and 2- and 3-cm thicknesses.
9. New quartz slabs from WILSONART include Galera and Oberlin
(shown here), both large-scale terrazzo quartz; and Hanola Grey, a
two-toned dark gray quartz design with undertones of brown and
wispy white veins throughout. There also are Clouds Rest, a whiteand-gray background accentuated by darker gray veining, and
Hamoa, a warm gray background with swirling white veins throughout.
10. Dekton Avantgarde from COSENTINO has three new colors,
including Dekton Khalo, shown here. Khalo is inspired by Patagonia
natural stone with subtle spots of black, pale gold and coffee brown. It
is also available with Dekton XGloss for extra shine and depth.
